Please don't take up 1/3rd of my screen real estate with non-resizable gubbins. #321

Describe the problem

I need to zoom in my fonts to around 200%. Until 4.0.3 that meant I was limited to the browser version because there was no zoom feature or DPI feature. Now there is a zoom feature, but it's actually made things worse, because increasing the chat text size devours my screen space with the DM list and other such content.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to have large font for my actual important information (chats and messages) and smaller font - or collapsable/resizable segments - for things like the DM list.

Alternatives considered

What I'm doing right now is oversizing the window so that the DM list is sent to the void off-monitor. It's not practical and it's really not useful.

Additional context

I appreciate the ongoing work to improve cinny, and the step towards accessibility of adding the zoom setting, but its current implementation has actually ended up worse for me due to the general design/appearance changes. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how much work would go into what I'm requesting for what may be some rather niche requirements, but it's better to ask politely and let people know the issue I'm having than sit there grumbling to myself.
